I’ve been reviewing cameras for PCMag since 2011, so I know which deals are actually worth it. If you’re in the market for a new shooter, these are the camera deals I recommend for Prime Day.
I’m the resident camera expert at PCMag. I’ve spent the last 13 years testing and reviewing all types of photo gear, and previously I worked for a major photo retailer. I’ve reviewed scores of cameras and hundreds of lenses. I take a dual approach to reviews, testing gear in our studio with charts to check sensor performance and resolving power, and then out in the real world to evaluate autofocus accuracy, flare control, and bokeh quality. I do my best to get a real handle on performance so I can recommend the right kit for photogs of all experience levels. Along with evaluating performance and features, another big component in my reviews is value. And there’s nothing better than an excellent camera with a low price.
Amazon is back with its second big sale in recent months, October Prime Big Deal Days, and it’s a perfect time to either treat yourself or get a jump on your holiday shopping. There’s a healthy dose of photo gear on sale this time around, but some of the best prices are on gear I simply don’t recommend that you buy.
